A Prince Regent's Servant
The return of Rong Bai and Prince Silas.

Rong Bai wrinkled his forehead after finishing listening to Prince Silas whisper to him, After it was over Silas slightly moved away so as not to arouse suspicion from the other party.

Rong Bai and the others stopped long enough at the edge of the poisonous thorn until across it the Emperor was seen with the Princes rushing towards where they were standing.

"Rong Bai, Sikas. Are you guys okay?". Ask Emperor.

"We're good, but look in front of you here's Father. A small, poisonous thorn spines were deliberately planted to get us hurt". Answer Rong Bai.

"You check who put this Thorn, and the others prepare the board so they can cross this Thorn". Emperor's Order.

"First Brother, Second Brother. Thank goodness you're okay". Said the young Prince to Lima.

Neither Rong Bai nor Silas answered his sister's words, For They knew Only the Fifth Prince's Mother Consort and Consort did all this.

The Fifth Prince who felt unresponsive could now only snort angrily then leave the scene.

The board was placed on top of the small thorn of poisonous thorns, Now they walk over the Board so that they managed to reach the opposite court that contained the Emperor and others.

"Greetings Respect to Ayahanda". Said Rong Bai and Silas together.

"Rise up, thank God you're okay and look good. I'm a little relieved to see it". Said Emperor Bai.

"Thank you Dad". Answer them both.

"Let's go inside, Let them take care of this" .

They entered the Emperor's Room, and sat down on the seat that was being provided.

Liena Sue waited outside because she was disguised as a lowly Eunuch so she could not enter the Room.

Shortly thereafter, several Consorts flocked to the Emperor's Room, in the Other direction The Empress also came to the Emperor's Room for Formality only.

"Huh Serpent woman, she could still be so arrogant". Guman Liena Sue inwardly upon seeing how arrogant Mother Prince Silas was .

The Empress and the concubines immediately entered the Emperor Room and then saluted the Emperor and the Prince who were inside.

"How are you Prince? Looks good all right". Ask Empress.

"We are indeed fine, does Her Majesty The Empress look Disappointed when she sees us well especially me?". Rong Bai's question was full of intimidation .

"What do you mean Prince Regent, of course I as a mother feel worried . What's more when you heard you were attacked even in the palace. Looks like you guys are very calm".

"Of course we're calm, because that guy has failed his plan". Sahut Rong Bai's.

"Huhh basic". The Empress snorted in annoyance.

"Have not argued, the two Princes have just returned home after such a long time. Don't add to the commotion". Said the Emperor mediating.

Now everyone was chatting lightly with each other except the Empress and the fifth prince, while the third concubine as the mother of the fifth prince was seen covering everything well.

"Rong Bai, you as the Prince Regent. Are you still going to continue the last six months to return to the Academy?". Ask the second concubine

"After all the business is done, I'll return auntie. But if there's a purpose to add to my work I don't guarantee it". Answer Rong Bai.

"Hopefully there's no problem and you can relearn, then go home and get on with the wedding". Speak the Second Concubine sincerely.

Among the Concubines, Only the second Concubine was good with Rong Bai because she was the beloved sister of the Mother. It was just that time after the death of the old Empress, the Second Consort did not want to be appointed as the successor of the elder brother so she was only a Grand Concubine. However, despite his position as Grand Concubine, his authority is many times greater than that of the current Empress. So no one dared to harass her including the Empress.

"Thank you, Daddy, thank you Auntie". Answer Rong Bai.

After a brief meeting in the Emperor Room they dispersed and returned to their respective residence, Now Silas was seen approaching Rong Bai and Liena Sue who were still dressed as eunuchs.

"Wait, take this with you. Because from today you will not sleep well". Say Silas while giving a black porcelain bottle.

"What'sthis?". Ask Rong Bai.

"Throw into the sky if you are in danger, then there will be reinforcements coming to your aid". Answer Prince Silas .

"Thank you".

"And one more thing, I'll stay at the Palace next to you. My mom assigned me to watch over you".

"It's up to you". Rong Bai replied then he immediately went towards his own Istanan.

....

The Empress's Palace...

The Empress looked so angry that she broke many pieces of furniture in her palace.

"Aaggkk, why did that bastard return safely!! You should have died with your mother when you were a kid!! You're just my name for us to seize the throne". Empress.

"Ck, why do you regret it, Your Majesty". Said the third concubine who arrived to come to the empress' place.

"What are you here for?!!". Ask Empress.

"I just wanted to greet our Grand Empress, and happen to hear you curse the Prince Regent. If all sounds to the Emperor, you'll be punished severely ". Answer the third concubine who then sat in the room seat without caring about the random Empress.

"You're just gonna sprain me, right? Never mind I won't be receiving guests this time, hurry up and leave!". Empress.

"I'm here to invite you to work together".

"Heh, what kind of cooperation do you mean?".

"I will help you overthrow the Prince Regent but you must also help my son to become the next Prince Regent if Silas becomes Emperor".

"Don't dream much, you're just a concubine so it's inappropriate for your son to be the Prince Regent".

"Don't be so arrogant! We have the same goal and the same enemy. Think good, I have many supporters after Grand concubine.". The third concubine was a little angry.

"You go first, I'll consider it". The Queen finally answered.

"I hope Your Majesty really took the right steps". The third concubine then left the Empress's Palace .

While the Empress now chose to soak in order to lighten the burden of her mind, Before long came the messenger bird perched on the window of the Empress's bathroom.

"Who sent the night message". Gumam empress.

The Empress took the letter at the foot of the delivery bird and read it slowly.

After finishing reading, there was a grin behind the middle-aged face that looked still beautiful.

"Heh, I will destroy you Rong Bai like I killed your mother". The Empress muttered then kept the message in a small cupboard near her bathtub.
